Property summary

Originally built in 1909 and thoughtfully reimagined in 1937 by G. Stanley Wilson—arguably Riverside’s most prolific architect—this remarkable home is a one-of-a-kind treasure in the city’s historic core. Wilson, best known for shaping many of Downtown’s most iconic landmarks, brought his era-defining vision to this later-career renovation, blending Italianate and Spanish Renaissance features throughout the home. This is the only home of its kind in this part of Riverside, and its architectural pedigree is matched by a surprisingly functional floor plan—a rarity among historic residences. Inside, you’ll find beautifully preserved details: stenciled beams, a richly tiled fireplace, stained and plate glass windows, and a cast iron radiator with intricate relief—all just in the living room! You find that the details continue throughout the property. The main level features a spacious kitchen, dining room, sun room, living room, laundry room, and a bedroom with an adjacent three quarter bath. Upstairs, a hallway illuminated by French doors leads to three secondary bedrooms—two of which open onto private rooftop patios—as well as a hall bathroom and the primary suite. The home also includes a large finished basement. There is a family room/den as well as a large storage room, accessible via two staircases. One is from the kitchen and the other from the sun room and it’s convenient that these two spaces are connected by a door. Elegant yet relaxed, the home’s atmosphere is serene, but its location is buzzing with energy. Just six blocks from Riverside’s cultural heart, including the Fox Theater, the Cheech, the Art Museum, and the Mission Inn Hotel and five blocks from the lakes at Fairmount Park and the trails of Mount Rubidoux, this residence offers both character and convenience in equal measure.
